BRITISH and FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY. A numerous Meeting was held on Friday, at the Free Masons' Tavein, in Consequence of placards, without • • any name attached to them, headed " A . Meeting of the British and Foreign Bible Society." The Rev. W. Wtrztams,B.D. a Welsh Clergyman, of the Established Church, who was instrumental 'in having the placards posted up, proposed that the R.ev. lausil should take the Chair; which that Gentleman declined: The Rev. Mr. Caws was next proposed, and said, he came to the Meeting, not expecting to be called on to fill the Chair. But when he saw so 'many gentlemen pre sent whO knew how to act with prudence, he could not ob ject to the situation. A Rev. GENTLEMAN then rose tool said—Mr. Chair man, I move " that this M eet i ng d o a djourn till the par ties whose conduct will he bro ug h t w i der diicussion this n day shall have an opportunity of defending themselves." It is the principle of British Law, that a person should be heard before he be condemned. The Rev. Mr. CROSBY,. frorri Ireland, said—l must claim a total disavowal, as regards myself, of being.consi dired a party in getting up this meeting; but it .does seem very strange to me, that the Bible Society shrinks from investigation; or why some one of that Society does not come publicly and give a denial to those charges. I coma forward and fearlessly say, that a Society, established so many years at the Bible Society is, ought to ''satisfy the Christian Public, and allay this fermentation. I say that the members of th'e Bible Society now present ought to give satisfaction to the public on .those points, and not strive to stifle discussion, and cushion up this question by preventing the public from coming to a just conclusion, as to the conduct of the Societi, in having violated the faith placed in them by the public.—(llere repeated interrup tion was given to the Reverend Speaker, by cries of " Adjourn, adjourn," a nd great hissi ng , an d tumultuous movements. The CHAIRMAN-4 must intreat order; this relates to the Holy Writ, and should be discussed in a meek Spirit. Mr. CROSBY, in continuation—l am obliged to the Chairman for his interference to procure me a hearing, and must assure the Meeting, that I am by no means an enemy to the distribution of the Bible (immense cheering, with some hissing.) But Mr: Chairman, Ido firmly say, there are many other Societies for the distribution * of the Scriptures, which enjoy my confidence, without having recourse to the British Bible Society.---(Hissing and partial applause.) Mr. Walusts here interrupted the Speaker, bymaking allusions to the Rev. Mr. M'Neile,son-in-law to the Arch-: bishop of Dublin, who enjoys 17,000/, a year.--(Mere the confusion again became indescribable, by hissing—cries of adjourn ; order—order !) CitAmtuix—l trust that this subject will be dimmed with decorum. Mr. CROSBY—That the Bible Society have been wrong in not repelling the charges made by Mr. M'Neile, at Guildford, it is not for me to say ; but they hale immense stuns at their disposal—they have clerks, books, and riches in abundance—and their own works should' be stamped with the authority of the public; and why not give a sa• tisfactory explanation as to those charges . already brought against them, and unrefined to this very moment ? The Rev. Mr. WILLIAMS—I hold two relative situa tions in Society--one as a Member er Civil Society, and the other as a Member of Religious Society. • I will illott , trate my argument by saying, I have to deal with.tWo mercantile houses, one of which been* an irreproachable, the other a shuffling character. On a certain day I have aceounts to make up. Igo to the .respectable house and say, " I shall be glad if you, will settle whatever account:a there'are between us-1 have to deal With such a house (meaning the shuffling one), on another--a day certain— and I am resolved to 'be prepared, as they will take any advantage of me that they can." Just so ought the Bible Society to act, and come prepared this day (if they can) and deny the truth of those charges which I have brought against them, and which are already in print. As.amem her of civil society, I have a claim of great arrears against the Bible Society, for not having fulfilled the contract for which that Society has been established ; and . _ have a right to appeal to the Press, through which I am represented as having prosecuted a poor man in my own ne►ghbourhood, for a violation of the Game Laws. -(Great confusion, and repeated cries of " Adjourn, a , jaunt !") _ CIIAIRMAN—I Mg beg that the Rev. Gentleman will speak to the question. If he will confine himself to the subject, I will promise him a lwaring.—(Cheers The Rev. Mr. WiLussts—Only allow me a fair hear ing. I speak in one language, and think in another. My opposition .is to the conduct pursued by the, Bible Society; and I say, that they have not dealt fairly with the Christian public—(applause) am well acquainted with the forms and precept s o f the Bible, and I want to show how the Society hi erred.—(Loud cries of " Ad journ, adjourn !---wait for the Report which the Society is now preparing.") The Rev. Mr. WlLLtsmsHYou will disgrace your selves, if you do not give me a hearing.--(Cheers, and cries of " go on !") Some person in the crowd asked, was there any accre dited agent from the Society present The Rev. Mr. WlLLtssts—l have taken this room for the day, and I shall be heard.—(Cries of " t o b e sure you must.") .The Rev. Mr. CROSTY—I admonish the friends of the Bible Society to come forward, if they are present. If not, they make but a prim 4 facie evidence againsWeenselves. Why are they not prepared with the Report ? love The he juouii s e N N s s u o N , Iv The Rev. Mr. xta.utats—So do I. i meetingtbe Bible.w!ld Mr grant the Rev. Mr. Williams a hearing, to disgrace him self, that the truths in the sacred Scriptures might appeal more manifest after his attack. The Rev. Mr. WILLIAMS-4 offered five shillings a minute fora hearing in any part of the country. (Laughter.) A GENTLEMAN observed that the placards calling the meeting, were not signed.—(Hear The Rev. Mr. Wll,l3,tafs—Not signed ! (Laughter.) The Rev. Mr. CuustlNS ) of Cori (' s aid, Si r I b eg leave l to make a few re m ar ks on the questio n o f a dj ournme n t; and in Coming f or w ar d, I labour under no smal agitation; as 1 never before addressed a meeting in this great city.— I will ask, how is it possible tlutt any Member of the Bible Society, or any friend to the Bible, cotild wish to eushion up this question ? I confess my heart throbs when I hear any Christian so express himself, as a Gentleman did who lately addressed you.—(Cheers.—Alludin g to the Rev. Mr. Crosby.)--Sir, the Bible is the common charter right of every Christian; its precepts are univ ersa l, wh en first the Bible was handed down to obi, it h a d no notes or cote mw a f ey rotii n not now heart, I wish that th e i n di v id ua l who u se it in the same unadulterate d Uttered that calumny , may be judged, and not th e Church 'to which he belo ngs .—(Great chee r i ng .) Th e Rev. Mr c ßosir s , said, that there was no man a warmer friend to the distribution of the Bible than he was: It was the manner i n w hich it Was distributed that he ob. j ec ted to, and to other p r actices of the Society. Several other Gentlemen addressed the Chair on the imprOpriety o f proceed in g fart h er at that time; and ob served, that it was unmanly to attack the Members of the Bible Society in their Absence. After a great uproar, the C HAIRMAN put the question of adjournment, when the wholemeeting, with the exception of three or four, held up their hands for carrying the ques. tion in the atlirmative. A great many then left the room, and the Rev. Mr. Williams. mounted the table, and harangued while a single individual remained in the room, amidst frequent cries of ". hear, hear !" " off, air," In the course of the day several printed bills, containing the pleadings in the proceedings against the Committee of the Bible SocietY, were handed about the room. A COPY OF THE PLEADINGS IN THE PROCEED INGS AGAINST THE COMMITTEE OF THE BIBLE , SOCIETY, AT FREEMASONS' TAVERN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15. MEMORIAL LEFT IN THE SOCIETY'S COMMITTEE-ROOM. Proposition 1. That the Committee of the British and Foreign Bible Society have departed very far from the line of conduct pre scribed for them by that Institution's original laws, and have eon- .1 ducted its concerns on principles which are contrary to it* stipu— lations with the Christian Public, and totally differeut from those on Av}tielt they were conducted during the first year of its *slat race, the.uuderwritten is ready to prove from the Society's, own 'hewing. . Proposition H. That the system which they have substituted is inconsistent with the interests of true religion at home and abroad, the same is also prepared to demonstrate. The above Propositions are respectfully submitted to the serious consideration of that Committee, this 3d day of July, 1826. (Signed) W. WILLIAMS, 8.D., an Original Member. On the '7th of August, the title page of a hook, intended to establish the truth of the above propositions, was delivered by the author, who is above-named, to the Noble President, Lord Teign mouth, with a request that they might be properly discussed either then and there, or when and where it pleased his Lordship and the Committee, with an expression of sincere regret that the Com- Mitten apparent unconcern had compelled the author to quote much of the works of their opponents in the North, in order to MAIM the truth of his second proposition; and the only obser vation that was made in reply was, that 1w could do himself no good by dependance on the correctness or veracity of Scottish writers. On Sept. 4th, a written document was handed to ,the Noble President as follows, by Mr. Williams :—" 1 do hereby respect fully submit that a motion ►hould be made for a Resolution to this effect, via. That a General Meeting of the Members of the British and Foreign Bible Society he convened (by advertisement), at the Freeamons"lavern, or elsewhere, within eight days• from the date hereof.—N.B. The subjects of discussion at such a meet ing, to be the two propositions respectfully submitted to the con sideration of this Cotnntittee on the 3d of July last, And its no one seconded the motion when niade, his Lordship did read, at. Mr. Williams'e request, the counterpart of the document as fol lows I give notice, that unless you, advertise a General Meet ing, and inform me of it by to-morrow night, 1 will advertise one that shall be convened next Aveck.' Earl-street, Sept. 4, 1826. " W. WILLIAMS, B. D. DINNER TO LORD WIIARNCLIFFE, AT SHEFFIELD. (Abridged from the Leeds Mercury.) On Thursday fait a. public dinner was' given to Lor , Wharncliffe by many of the respectable inhabitants of Shel field, for the purpose of testifying their gratitUde for his Lordship's services in his late character of representative for this county. The dinner took place at the Music-ball, and 174 gentlemen sat down at live o'clock ; many who applied for tickets being unable to obtain them, from the impossibility of accommodating a greater number. The President was Wm. Younge, M.D., anti the Vice-Presi dents, Henry ,Aloorheuse, Esq.. Thomas Newbould, Esq., and Bartholomew ,Houustield, Esq. Lord Wharnelitie sat. on the President's right hand, and the Hon. John Stuart Wortley, M.P., on his left. There were alsO'present, Hugh Parker, Esq., the Rev. Mr. Alderson, the Rev. Henry Pearson, ltimington,: Esq., Henry Walker; Esq., Captain Wortley, lames Stuart 'Wortley, Esq., Staniforth Beckett, Esq., :fumes Montgomery, Esq., Wm. Swum, Esq., Dr. 'Knight, &c. The CHAIRUAN, after a complimentary preface, gave the following toast : " Lord Wharneliffe . ; may he long enjoy those honourS which our graeiniis' Sovereign, the fountain of honour, has been pleased to confer upon him." Lord WfIARNCLIFFe rose, and was received with re peated cheering. He spoke as follows :—" Gentlemen, my worthy friend the President has very truly told you, that 14 years ago, in this place, on first offering myself to the county, and. after an unsuccessful effort to he returned, I was greeted by one of the most respectable assemblies . ever met for such a purpose. in the town of Sheffield. It is my pride to say, that, those 14 years having elapsed, out Of which I have endeavoured humbly to serve you eight, I now See around me many of those persons who were then present. They cheered me at the beginning—they honour me in the end. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, the com mon excuse made on occasions like that on which I now present myself before you, is that the person who has to address you wants word* to express his gratitude. I, how ever, shall make no such excuse. Few, - very few words will be sufficient to express my sentiments—l have a heart to feel, and from that heart I thank you most sincerely. (Loud cheers.) But, gentlemen, there are circumstances which attended the late election—there are circumstances which attended my elevation to the peerage which my Sovereign was pleased to bestow upon me, that I moot upon this occasion pass over. I feel, gentlemen, that if 1 ; have, not received that honour properly, you are ditt honoured by it : I was your representative when I re, ceived it, and hon Our Was etmferred upon me by it, to you I owe it, and to you I return my thanks. (Cheers.) But, gentlemen, if there are persona in this county, who, quailing and trembling at the very idea of public discussion, prefer trying to defame the character of an individual by sneers and nawspaper paragraphs, and who when an opportunity is given to speak out openly anti manfully, prefer drowning the voice of the accused party by demotic and noise, if these persons would measure the opinions and conduct of their representative by their own standard, I say that with them I have nothing an common; I ebb& their praise, and as fur their censure, 1 rather think that when I. obtain it, I am in the right way.---( Loud cheers.)—lf there are such persons who wish for a repre sentative to reflect their opinions, they were right to try to -reduce the in the opinion of my coontrymen.

In the ycar 1812,e very same year in which I first stood for die county, you all - remember a motion I made in the House of Commons for the armation of a ministry; and on that occasion I declared that in, my opinion the time was come, when the question of conces sion to the Catholics must be taken into 'consideration. So the matter remained—l was successful. Then came the general election : at that time I was asked, in a par ticular pelt of the county, my opinion on the subject of the Catholic claims. The answer I gave 'Wad this—that in my opinion, the time was come to take the question into consideration, but at the same time, if 1 at last should determine to concede their claims to the Catholic; it should be by taking care that the Protestant establishment should not by that means be endangered. I then went to Parliament, not as a member for this county, and there fore not tesponsible to any individual in it, except as one of the general public of thq country. In the year 1813, a bill was brought into Parliament by Mr. Canning, to give the Catholics admission into Parliament. Gentlemen, I imp: ported that bill, in common with many of youi best and oldest friends: I well recollect that Mr. Wilberforce, your former Member, stated on that occasion, that in his opinion the time vats come when the claims of the Catholics must be granted. On another occasion, before the W.V. election, when the bill of Mr. Grattan was brought in, I took the same line. In the year 1818, I stood for the county feelitv on this subject, having voted over and over again upon it in Par liament; must then have been known. How, then, could any freeholder have been deceived as to my opinion on this question ? It was perfectly open to any freeholder to sq to me, " No, I cannot vote for you, on account of your opinion on this subject." But I say that no man said so. If then vote& for the Catholic oncstion, no man could have right to find fault with me.---(Cheerer.)----To my utter ,astonishment, I have ,- heard it said that 1 deceived great numbers of people. If 1 had done so, 1 must have altered my opinion to obtain their votes. Gentlemen, you have known me long and intimately ;it said justly, that a man is best known by, what his vaet says of him ; you, gentlemen, have seen every action of my life, and you knoW whether I am likely to act contrary to my opinion front any eousideration.—(Loud eheers.),—But lam also ac cused of having stated, in a speech on Sir Francis Bur dett's Catholic Bill, that the opinion of, the people of this county Was more favourable to the . Catholics than it had been. Supposing that I was wrong in this statement, I may have been deceived, 1 may have thought that I bad seen certain symptoms in this county to justify the opinion which I gave. But I must, on the other hand, say to those gentlemen who accuse me, that it was their bounden duty to call upon the county to pronou»ce an opinion upon the subject, or ut least. to have taken some measure to convince me that I was wrong.—(Cheers.)----But there were, I think, only three or four petitions against the Catholic claims from the %Vest Riding of Yorkthire • one of which was from the corporation of Leeds, and another from Hali fax ; but any thing like an expression of popular or general opinion on the subject was never given; and those persons who ,now exclaim against me, never, until the approach of the general election, came fOrward in any public manner to deny the truths of what I had advanced.---(Cheers.)- , --It may be unsafe to grant the Catholic claims,' but I contend here, and have contended before the face of the county, end I am ready to meet the question wherever the persons who have accused me deem proper, that I, have never de ceived any Mail on this subjeet.—(Cheers.)—lt has been further auid, that the peerage has been bestowed upon me at the inst . :owe of Mr. 'Canning; and'was ti subterfuge to avoid a contested election for this county. I have a high respect for Mr. Canning; I look up to him as a man of powerful abilities and the kindest heart, and I am proud to think that I am in habits of friendship, with him, But, gentlemen, I am too proud to have received a faVeur from the hands of Mr. Canning. , —(Loud »0 repeated cheers.) It has often been said to me, not by persons of . ,my own family, or particularly interested in nut, " You are in a si tuation to ask a peerage; why do you not do it ?", My answer has ;ilways been, " I feel myself a greater man as a representative of the county of York than I•should as, a peer, and hesides I will never ask a tin-our of any Ali nistee—(Loud cheers.)-- , --Gentlemen, 1 never did ask it. The 'King, in the kindest manner, iii a manner which will never, be forgot either by inc tie niv to the last hour of our lives, offered it to me. He told the that he did not otfer it to me :at: the instance. of his Ministers, that there were parts of my conduct in Par- . Bement which herdid not approve, ;that there were sub jects on which he differed from me, hat he:lidded that my character and station in life were such that he thought toe a proper individual to receive a peerage. A titleso offered could not be refttsed.- , -(Cheers),-A peerage ie not it thing to be Slighted, anti I do not see why I should be de barred : from that station more than any other mum , I would never de a baste action to obtain it; but, hiving been given to me, I will prize it as I ought.---t(Cherrs.) r --- But, forsooth, I took it in order to avoid a contested tdec tion ! Gentlemen, I know tvhat a contested election is, though I have never been engaged in one es, a principal : I know the horrors of it, and to what it leads; and if the seat for this county of York could °illy have been kept by me at the enormous expellee at which it would appear it is to be kept—an expellee which would ruin any man of moderate fortune, then I say 1 would not have retained the seat for' the county. But gentlemen are very much inis taken, if they think I have feared a contested election. I should have been present in the Castle-yard at York, I should have defrayed the meagre wipe)** of the 4 eet io n, an d have left. it to the freeholders to say whom they would choose.—(Cheers,)—Gentlemen, I have tin douht—l know it---I: know to a certainty, that in case of a con test, I must have been at the head of the poll. Indeed, if it lied 'been otherwise, after the services of *Melt all parties, with few exceptions ha.te approVedif it had been necessary to defend, at expense 'to Which other parties SOUght. to put one, a seat for this county, it would not have been worth having. If the result. or gaioing a seat is to make one dependent for life, Gott' forbid that I should have it.« , --((heeris.)—(lentlenten, the county ,nnist not. be SO treated : if the county wishes 'to have independent Members, it must endeavour to prevent this enormous expense. Otherwise, as I lately read in a French paper describing the last election, the enmity might as well ,be put up by auction. I have heard on good authority that the expenses of the last election, without u contest, to the four ca n did a t es , w ill amount to 1.50,0004 ; andi leave it to yo u to judge whe thercomeoverborne when any person not of the very larg est p rop e rty could stand ra COlittat,.—(Cheers.) ,. ---13 ut, gentlemen, y ou oug h t not to a an end to Gentlemen I should' have have brought the matter system' shalt be put fairly to issue, a n d 1 tio assure that 'bathing would weight of purse, and have given me g reater p l easure than " to stand en - in the Castle yerd before m accusers, apd hold:them Up to shame before the county,: I cannot h av e the least. doubt as to .the issue. - --(Cheers.)—Gentlemen, I have now troubled you Icing. as to myself, and it is time I should recur to , the circumstance* of this evening. ' I have told you thus from my heart I feel all your kindness.. I need Riot 14.'1 hope, body .of that if at any after titne j con serve the county of York, services shall be Onion 1 hope, in the mituetion in which s nyet io, h a i l placed me, I shallnot_ferget that who object to individualw who, are y 'l'here are persons 1. have been the rep he House of Peen+, being elected to bcoome M 006116 of t I have no inch ob embers or the.
